The exiled Yemeni government has agreed to attend a new round of UN-sponsored negotiations with Houthis and the allied former president, local media reported on Sunday.

"A government spokesman announced the Yemeni government agreed to hold talks with the rebels and [Ali Abdullah] Saleh," Sky News Arabiya tweeted.
